Could add him to the catering staff i guess

Cant see an ageing player up rooting his family to the other end of the country for a division lower, a one year contract at best and a wage cut. Harper is a fine example of this.

He's 32 and currently on 60k a week at Newastle, has hinted that he just wants to play and is willing to drop down to chamionship

After one horiffic leg break at Manure and another broken ankle at Newcastle a year ago don't think he's for us!!

Think that he would be an ideal loan signing but not to sign fully as obviously he would have problems relocating. Pardew has offered him a coaching role apparently but he wants to continue playing as he says he is too young to take up coaching and stop playing.

If he was still half decent, when did he last play one/two/three games in a row for anyone? 5 years ago?

I'd have him in for 5 months, he could join the rest on the physio's table... we have the most talented bunch on that table in the Championship!

Heard a story locally, apparently told by razor ruddock, that when Smith played as an 18 yr old ruddock clattered him at the first opportunity, trying to intimidate him. According to Ruddock, Smith just got up, strolled past Ruddock and said " Is that all you got you fat C*** ?", smiled and just carried on :lol: Have to admire that from an 18yr old.

Soccer Sauce says he wants out of nufc. I did hear when we got Harper, that Smith may also come to us. Could do a job or past it?


Sent from my iPhone using my fingers.

Talksport said today that with Tiote in Africa, Smith & Guthrie have pledged their allegance & hope for runs in the NU team.

of all the silly rumours from the summer, this is one i do like. didnt know about the ankle injury, thought he was kept out by changes under Pardew/better players around St James. still reckon he's a quality player though, if fit, you dont lose that.
